EU biofuel demand driving land grabs in_the_Global_South

How is the EU going to meet its 20% renewable energy target for 2020?

Believe it or not, most of that target is expected to be met from burning wood, and other biomass, to generate electricity

In the UK alone, power station developers have announced plans which involve burning over 68 million tonnes of wood every year - that's 6.8 times our entire annual wood production.

This biomass boom has triggered a rush of investments in pellet plants and shipping facilities, particularly in the southern US and Canada, where the UK sources most of its imported biomass.

EU biomass demand shows no sign of abating.
